2019 Map of Edwards Branch

About this map

Hubbard Creek Reservoir dominates the eastern landscape of this West Texas terrain, where the waters surround a prominent landform known as The Island. The county line between Shackelford and Stephens counties runs vertically through the center of the sheet, dividing a region defined by complex drainage networks and small-scale water management. North of the larger reservoir, the Edwards Branch and McDowell Creek feed into the basin, while to the west, Green Reservoir Number 1 and Green Reservoir Number 2 indicate localized ranching or agricultural water storage. Near the northern boundary, the settlement of Flat-Top sits along the county line, providing a point of interest for local historians. For genealogists, the presence of Baker Cem near the reservoir's western edge offers a specific site for tracing family roots in this rural area of the Cross Timbers region.
